Need command-line argument to control maximum threads #153
Description
Related to #152. This issue tracks the need to add a command-line argument to control maximum number of threads.
Design
The new command line parameter takes a non-negative integer. It is the maximum allowed number of threads. The executable will compare that number with the maximum possible number of threads reported by OpenMP and set the maximum allowed number of threads to the smaller of the two values.

Note
While waiting for this issue, this can be indirectly controlled by configuring environment variables in the context in which Menge runs.
